MSPs are to move to block wife-beating politician Bill Walker from receiving a £30,000 bonus when he quits Holyrood.

The disgraced MSP, who faces jail for nearly three decades of domestic abuse, will receive a £29,048 resettlement grant if he clings on until the next election.

If Walker, 71, resigns from the Scottish Parliament before then, he will not be entitled to the golden goodbye payment.

But the shameless politician has shown no signs of quitting, despite having been found guilty of battering three former wives over a 28-year period.

He was ejected from the SNP when allegations of violence surfaced last year but has continued as an independent MSP.

Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie will now ask for legal advice on how to stop Walker “profiting” from Holyrood.

He said: “If he took his resettlement grant, it would be another insult on top of the many others. I am still hoping he will stand down from parliament soon as he has been found guilty and needs to go.

“However, if he digs in, we need to seek the best legal advice on whether he can be denied the grant. We can’t have wife-beaters profiting from parliament.”

Walker, who was elected as the SNP MSP for Dunfermline two years ago, will be entitled to an annual pension of £2904 if he quits now.

But if Walker, who earns £58,000 a year, hangs on until the next Holyrood election in May 2016, he will receive £7262.

That is in addition to the one-off £29,048 golden goodbye – half his salary – for MSPs who stand down or fail to get re-elected.

The bonus is designed to help politicians return to life outside parliament.

On Thursday, Walker was convicted of 23 assaults and one breach of the peace after his trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

The court heard how his three ex-wives – Maureen Traquair, Anne Gruber and Diana Walker – were subjected to Walker’s brutal rages.

Over 10 days of evidence, the court was told how he struck first wife Maureen, 66, two weeks before their wedding in 1967.

He repeatedly battered Anne, 71, after they married in 1970. She also claimed he repeatedly raped her but Walker wasn’t charged with sexual assault.

He was found guilty of four assaults on third wife Diana, 61. The couple married in 1988 and divorced in 1998.

Walker’s current wife June yesterday said: “We are not speaking to anyone.”
